These SCEA pioneers had to find suitable land, teachers, a school board, build classrooms, playgrounds, create book lists, settle on a curriculum, seek enrolments… and… seek government registration!
So they did what any good Christian community does…
They formed Busy Bees! These ‘busy bees’ (the colloquialism for working groups that met each Saturday morning and weeknights to contribute volunteer work for the betterment of the school sites) were comprised of ever job you could imagine – from painting and plastering to searching through soil for submerged objects or repurposing old desks and chairs for the school!
